Sarisophora brachymita is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous suffused with fuscous and with some dark-fuscous irroration. The markings are dark fuscous. There is a fine subcostal line from the base to one-third and the first discal is found before the middle, the plical beneath it, elongate, the second discal is ill-defined, and has the form of a spot at the tornus. There is a fine whitish-ochreous streak along the fold, interrupted by the plical and a similar short streak between the first and second discal. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
